I have known Nick since the age of 11; and to be honest, I didn't regard him as the brilliant striker I do now. This is probably due to his humble personality, and being a very consistent footballer.

It was at Wickham Market u18's where we started playing with one another, and since then, knowing he is in a match day squad beams me with massive confidence.

Nick reminds me of Ipswich Town legend, Darren Bent. Not through appearance, obviously, but because of his pace, consistent threat in-behind defenders, and his magnificent finishing. As well as these attributes, Nick is a very intelligent player, and makes me and Rich look like Beckham, when pinging balls over the top, where Nick often slots one-on-ones away.

Well done, Nick, on reaching 100 goals for Playford. I have no doubt you'll reach 200 in 4/5 seasons time.
